Figure 3

Phylogenetic relationship of goat and sheep lentiviruses nucleotide sequences isolated from Canadian flocks. The sequences are ~1200 bp comprising 90% of the gag gene (corresponding to the 600-1800 nt region of prototype CAEV-CO, M33677). The unrooted tree was constructed by the neighbour joining method, as described in methods. Bootstrap values are based on 1000 repetitions. SRLV isolates of the present investigation are shown together with available database sequences belonging to the SRLV groups A and B according to the classification of Shah et al., 2004 [13]. Canadian SRLV sequences are highlighted by grey areas. Sequences from the present study are labelled with O or C representing ovine or caprine isolates, respectively. Database derived sequences are denoted with their GenBank accession number. All SRLV sequences characterized in this study are available under accession number [GenBank: HQ158122 to HQ158136]
